There will be almost 30 street parties in Oxford to celebrate His Majesty King Charles the Third’s Coronation over the Bank Holiday weekend in May.
The Coronation will be on Saturday 6 May, and street parties are set to take place over the weekend across the country to mark the historic occasion.
National events include the Coronation Big Lunch, the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle, and the Big Help Out. For more details visit the Coronation Weekend webpage.
Oxford City Council received almost 30 temporary road closure licence applications to allow street parties to take place before the deadline to apply passed.
